9/18/2026 - Alphabet Challenge (K for Kitties) - Cutest Crew

Another week here at Alphabet Challenge and this week we are making K for Kitties card. I have the perfect bundle for this - Cutest Crew! There is a row of kitties that you can die cut out together, and I colored it in with Stampin' Blends. I created a background with Oval inlay and sponge it with Blending Brushes for a background to put the kitties in. I hope you enjoyed this creation and be sure to join us at the challenge.

9/15/26 - Sparkle Challenge #204 (Technique) / The Creative Crafter #104 (ATG) & Cardz 4 Guys (Fall) - Simply Leaves

Triple Triple! Today's card is shared at Sparkle (Favorite Technique), Cardz 4 Guyz (Fall Theme/Colors) and The Creative Crafter (ATG). I saw a fun fold template from Ai's Craft Room and decided to give it a try, as I am such a sucker for quick fun fold. This is also a great template to use up some of your DSP and showcase it. I punched out the leaves first and then stamped the vine in the coordinating colors. I really like how this turns out and I hope you do too. Please join us at the challenges!

9/14/26 - Atlantic Hearts #699 - Fern & Floral Grateful for You

Welcome back to Atlantic Hearts Sketch and today I have such a cute Fern & Floral card for you using the sketch. I also picked a color combo that I don't normally use - Melon Mambo and Timid Tiger. I used the 2 tones for Timid Tiger so the lighter side doesn't look as bright. One of the ferns is die cut with white cardstock and sponge it with Melon Mambo. The white flowers are sponged with Timid Tiger. You can also emboss the layering (Timid Tiger) to give I some texture. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.
